Agree. Good luck to both of them. I have to agree with Tommo about Drissa. Last season he was a joy to watch, and a hugely influential member of the team. I don't know if he has been struggling with an injury this season, or it's just that in League 2 he is closed down more quickly and doesn't have the time he had last year, but I can't remember a really good performance by him. Manny on the other hand I think has huge (literally) potential. I hope that he gets plenty of game time at Tranmere and comes back to play a major part in the team.

No animals were harmed during the creation of this message, but some electrons became agitated.

Both were key players in one of the biggest achievements in the club's history, so good luck to both.

Manny has potential, but is raw and his speed of thought/decision making under pressure need to improve, currently he is rightly fifth choice. I don't think you could make a case for him to be any higher in the pecking order, so he needs game time to push on again, hopefully he'll get that at Tranmere.

If what Ash says is true, and Drissa is looking for a move back to France, that would possibly explain his performances, as understandably he's had more important things to worry about back home.

Many thanks to you Drissa and all good wishes for your future. One of a legendary band who will always have a connection with FGR as a member of the EFL promotion squad.

Unfortunately 2017/18 has not worked out for Drissa as we all might have wished. Fitness seems to be a problem as does the physical nature of this league. He has so much skill on the ball and the ability to turn both ways - but sadly this year I will remember him being caught in possession to often and diving for non existent free kicks when danger lurks. He can be so much better than that, but I would not swap any of our midfield current options for him. Sorry.

Contract cancellation is the right course for player and club. As a free agent, I hope that he is able to find a new club quickly.

A real shame that Drissa has gone although I think the style of play has changed from last season and the start of this season. The team plays more direct from the back whereas when they played from the back last season Drissa was instrumental and a key figure in that style. Now that the ball is played forwards into the opponents half more before the team tries playing Drissas skills are wasted. I hope he fixes himself up with a new club soon who can utilise his talents and thank him for his efforts in getting the team promoted.

Thanks to Drissa for his contributions to our club - it has been well documented on here that he has been limited in our L2 season - often caught in possession, closed down too quickly, looking for fouls, and generally not coming-up-to-the-plate. Sad, but inevitable in this case, and we wish him every success in his future - you will always be made very welcome back at TNL. Thank you.
